It serves 1.6 million people and brings together six local authorities; Halton, Knowsley, Liverpool, Sefton, St. Helens and Wirral. Collectively we work together in areas such as; housing and spatial planning, digital, culture, transport, skills and apprenticeships, energy, the environment and homelessness to ultimately improve the lives and experiences of all who live, work and visit our City Region. The LCRCA is currently delivering a transformational 'Race Equality Programme', which seeks to meet the Metro Mayor's vision of "tackling systemic injustice and inequality and driving forward positive change for our Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority employees and residents - influencing the partners we work with to do the same". LCRCA and the six local authorities (LA's) which comprise the Liverpool City Region (LCR), have embarked on the development and delivery of a bespoke race equality training programme. This is an exciting and crucial project which aims to deliver training to all 20,000 Local Authority staff and building our collective level of racial literacy and inclusivity. It is hoped this training investment will create a ripple effect across our entire operations in the Liverpool City Region, contributing to a more inclusive working environment and to drive equality of outcomes for residents through the services we offer. ### Race Equality Training The project team have spent the past year designing the training product and delivering training to the first 2,000 employees. The project is now moving into the second phase of delivery, where it will deliver to the remaining 17,000 employees within five years and move into commercial delivery. Over the past year, we have made significant progress towards achieving our aims. With our deliver partner Equaliteach, we have developed an impactful training scheme that is currently being rolled out across the LCR. The training has been incredibly successful, with participants citing the high quality of the training product and the experience and skills that trainers demonstrate throughout the sessions. The existing delivery arrangements are due to expire and therefore a new delivery approach is required for the remaining 17,000 members of staff. We are seeking to expand the delivery model and would like to procure a lead supplier to manage the delivery of the training to the remaining 17,000 employees and any additional commercial clients.
